Davis-Gaither tallied six tackles (two solo) in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

One of Davis-Gaither's tackles went for a loss. The veteran linebacker has 64 tackles and three pass defenses through nine games in his first campaign as a Cardinal.

Young posted three tackles (one solo) during the Saints' 17-7 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Young wasn't able to extend his sack streak to four games Sunday, though he led all Saints defensive ends with 39 snaps on defense. Across the five games since returning from a calf injury Week 6, Young has accumulated 13 tackles (seven solo), including 3.0 sacks, three pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Werner posted six tackles (three solo) and a fumble recovery during New Orleans' 17-7 win over Carolina on Sunday.

Werner finished tied with Kool-Aid McKinstry for the second most tackles on the Saints behind Demario Davis (seven). Werner also jumped on a fumble from Bryce Young midway through the third quarter, though the Saints' offense was unable to able to convert the turnover into points. Werner has tallied at least six stops in four of 10 regular-season games and is up to 60 tackles (37 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass defenses and two fumble recoveries.

Reid registered five tackles (one solo) during the Saints' 17-7 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Reid's tackling output wasn't as high as it was over the prior three games, but he did play every single defensive snap for the fourth time this season. The 2018 third-rounder has tallied at least five stops in four straight games, and he enters the Week 11 bye with 52 tackles (30 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three pass defenses through 10 regular-season games.

Newman-Johnson (ankle) was estimated to be a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

An ankle injury prevented Newman-Johnson from playing in Sunday's game against the Browns, but current indications are he will be available for Thursday's AFC East tilt against the Patriots.

Farmer (ankle) did not practice Tuesday.

After being deemed a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough, Farmer downgraded to DNP on Tuesday. That's not a promising sign ahead of Thursday's matchup versus the Jets, though the rookie defensive tackle could play if he's able to get back to practicing in some capacity Wednesday. Farmer has logged between 18 percent and 38 percent of New England's defensive snaps in each game so far this season.

Alexander (knee) informed the Eagles on Tuesday that he's stepping away from the team, and the 28-year-old is contemplating retirement, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Things haven't gone as hoped for Alexander this season; he's been managing recovery from the knee surgery he underwent in January and played in just two games for Baltimore after the team signed him in June. Despite being a healthy scratch in his final two weeks as a Raven, Alexander's outlook seemed to be brightening when he was traded to the Eagles on Nov. 1, but he didn't end up playing in either of Philadelphia's next two contests as the team looked to get him acclimated to its system. Alexander is now taking time away from the Eagles to "focus on getting right physically and mentally," and Russini's source suggests he may decide to retire. Alexander made the All-Pro Second Team in both 2020 and 2022 but has had trouble staying healthy in recent campaigns, logging just 14 regular-season appearances across 2023 and 2024 combined.

Buffalo designated Sanders to return from IR on Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Sanders hurt his knee in early October and was consequently placed on IR. He's already missed the required four games, but the Bills don't necessarily have to activate him right away. Sanders now has 21 days during which he can practice before he'd either need to be activated or deemed out for the remainder of the campaign.

The Broncos placed Reid (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Reid injured his hamstring in the first half of last Thursday's win over Las Vegas and wasn't able to return to the contest. He'll now be required to miss a minimum of four games while on IR. Reid had been serving almost exclusively as a member of the special-teams unit, as he's logged just four defensive snaps over 10 games.

The Cowboys activated Revel (knee) from injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Now that the rookie third-rounder has been activated from IR, he is eligible to make his NFL debut against the Raiders on Monday. Revel was a limited participant in practice during Week 9 prep, and with additional rest courtesy of the Cowboys' Week 10 bye, he'll look to practice in full during the coming week. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered during his final collegiate season at East Carolina.
